Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 22 - 03:29 PM At a meeting of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, there was a break for lunch. The American ambassador & his wife are heading for the street when they see the Russian ambassador, Rudolph Velinski, leaving, carrying an umbrella. The American says to his wife, "We'd better get our umbrellas." "Oh, why?", she asks. "Because Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear." (I heard this many years ago, 'almost' like the above, but versions of this online are widely varied, but all telegraph the punchline and contrive unlikely situations.) I like jokes to flow sensibly..until.. |

US conservatives won't accept elections they lose and UK conservatives won't accept elections they win? A very seductive a wife ask her husband "Have you ever seen $20 all crumpled up?" "No", said her husband. She gave him a sexy little smile, unbuttoned the top three buttons of her blouse and slowly reached down in her cleavage created by a soft, silky push-up bra and pulled out a crumpled twenty dollar bill. He took the crumpled twenty dollar bill from her and smiled approvingly. She then asked "Have you ever seen $50 all crumpled up?""No I haven't" he said with an anxious tone in his voice. She gave him another sexy little smile pulled up her skirt, seductively reached into her tight sheer panties and pulled out a crumpled fifty dollar bill. He took the crumpled fifty dollar bill and started breathing a little quicker with anticipation. "Now" she said "Have you ever seen $50,000 all crumpled up?" "No way" he said becoming even more aroused and excited, to which she replied:"Good go look in the garage." |

"What? How much have you made?" "So far, $351.00!" "51? who gave you $1?" "They all did!" |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Steve Shaw Date: 24 Oct 22 - 12:32 PM Grandad always sent money to his grandchildren at Christmas, very generous he was too. One year, just after Christmas, he complained to his wife that none of his grandchildren ever said thank you, or sent a thank you card, or even rang him to thank him. Roll on the next Christmas. He sent the money as ever, but this time there was an amazing transformation - in the days following, all the grandchildren came to visit and thank him and a good time was had by all. "Well that was amazing!" exclaimed Grandma afterwards, "I wonder what caused the big change!" "Oh, it was simple," he replied, "This year I didn't sign the cheques..." |

His friend Meson turns and asks, “what’s wrong Baryon?” Baryon sobs, ”Everybody says I’m odd.” Meson tries his best to cheer him up. “Keep your head up buddy, we all have our quarks!” Two hydrogen atoms decide that they want to ride on the Large Hadron Collider. They jump on a plane to Switzerland and sneak in while no one is looking. As they start to speed up one of them realises that they have both lost their electrons. It mentions it to his friend who asks "Are you sure?" It replys "I'm positive." Why did the physicist at the Hadron Collider get thrown in jail? Because he was a mass murderer Did you hear about the Large Hadron Collider going down? They are gonna have to bring in a quantum mechanic. Why is it difficult to make fun of the Large Hadron Collider? Because it's hard to dicern When LHC discovered the Higgs Boson, it literally became deus ex machina. Your mamma’s so fat She uses the large hadron collider as a hula hoop?? What's a particle physicist's favourite cocktail? A Large Hadron Colada. |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Senoufou Date: 29 Oct 22 - 03:57 AM This isn't a'joke' as such, but a true tale: I remember a Mrs Malaprop friend who sat on our bingo table each week. In between each game we'd all have a bit of a natter. She once blurted out, "My husband is putting up a dildo rail in our hall!" We all shrieked with laughter, and could hardly concentrate when the next game began. (She meant dado rail) Another time, she told us that her husband had made a pond in their back garden, and she was going to get some gonorrhoeia to make it look nice. (She meant Gunnera, a plant with large leaves that grows near water) |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Mr Red Date: 15 Nov 22 - 05:58 AM From Youtube Putin wanted to know if Zelensky was still alive... Zelensky himself decided to send Putin a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Putin opened the letter which appeared to contain a single line of a coded message. 370HSSV-0773H Putin was baffled, so he emailed it to Lukashenko, and his aides had no idea either, so they sent it to the KGB. No one could solve it at the KGB, so it went to the CIA, then to NSA. With no clue as to the meaning. The FBI finally asked the Australian Military for help. Within a few seconds the they called back with this message: “Tell that Wanker Putin he’s holding the message upside down." . |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Donuel Date: 22 Nov 22 - 07:24 PM Two Brits die and end up in Hell. Satan decides to pay them a visit, so he walks into their room and sees them talking and laughing. Confused, he asks them why they're happy. They tell him, "Well, we're so sick of the cold and damp where we're from, and this place is nice and toasty." Satan, annoyed, storms away and goes to Hell's boiler room, where he turns up the temperature. He goes back to the Brit's room, along the way being begged by all sorts of condemned people to stop the heating. He enters the room to see the Grits having a cook out. Furiously, he asks them what they're doing. "Well, we can't pass up this wonderful weather without getting out the barbecue!" Satan realizes he's been doing the wrong thing. He goes to the boiler room and turns it down until it's at a colder temperature than ever. He knows he's won now, so he goes back to the Brits' room, only to see them jumping up and down in excitement. He shouts at them in fury, "WHY ARE YOU STILL HAPPY?!?!?!" They look at him and shout in unison, "Hell froze over! That means we won the World Cup!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Bill D Date: 25 Nov 22 - 02:31 PM Two friends are walking their dogs together. One has a big black lab, while the other has a minuscule chihuahua. They pass a bar and the lab owner says, "Let's get a beer." The chihuahua walker complains, "That would be great, but we can't take our dogs in there." The first responds, "Watch me." The lab owner strolls in with her dog and orders a beer. The bartender tells her, "Sorry, you can't bring your dog in here." "He's my seeing eye dog," the woman replies feigning offense. The bartender quickly apologizes and serves her the beer. The other woman follows, her chihuahua in tow, and orders a beer as well. Again the bartender says there are no dogs allowed in the bar. "He's my seeing eye dog," the woman replies. "Yeah, right,” the bartender says, “A chihuahua? Give me a break." Without missing a beat, the woman replies, "They gave me a chihuahua?!" |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Bill D Date: 25 Nov 22 - 02:36 PM A man walks into a bar and notices a poker game at the far table. Upon taking a closer look he sees a dog sitting at the table. This peaks his curiosity and he walks closer and sees cards and chips in front of the dog. Then the next hand is dealt and cards are dealt to the dog. Then the dog acts in turn with all the other players, calling, raising, discarding, everything the other human players were doing. However none of the other players seemed to pay any mind to the fact that they were playing with a dog, they just treated him like any other player. Finally the man could not longer hold his tongue so between hands he quietly said to one of the players, “I can’t believe that dog is playing poker, he must be the smartest dog in the world!” The player smiled and said, “He isn’t that smart, every time he gets a good hand he wags his tail.” |
